This talk covers the relationship of mindfulness to the three marks of existence as well as the the three 'fires' of greed, aversion and delusion. The question is also raised as to how we want to live our lives and our commitment to that vision.
Are you aware of the intentions that are shaping your thoughts, moods and life experience? This talk explores how mindfulness of intention allows us to open to our deepest heart's aspiration, and have that guide the unfolding of our lives.
What is mindfulness - what are the essential aspects of mindfulness and what are the key points elucidated by the Buddha in how to use mindfulness as a path to awaken.
This talk also includes Helen Stephenson. Meditation and yoga are natural partners in the spiritual life. This talk introduces a retreat that draws on the Buddh's teachings of mindfulness and awakening, and the yoga teachings of Patanjali, combining the practices of Hatha Yoga and Insight Meditation. The yoga on this retreat is offered as a spiritual path rather than simply an exercise system.
